"Lovely, warm host and a family friendly home stay with beautiful garden"

9.0

We really enjoyed our stay at Yaye Guest House. Shantha is a genuinely kind and thoughtful host who clearly enjoys welcoming people into his home. He prepared very good meals and generously shared his knowledge about the garden, the plants and the many birds that can be seen around the property. Our child felt comfortable straight away. Shantha took the time to play in the garden and show him small things around the house, which made the stay extra special for us as a family. Yaye Guest House is a calm and friendly place, and staying here added a lot to our time in Tissamaharama. We would happily recommend it to others looking for a personal and authentic stay.

"Sir Lankan hospitality at its finest ❤️"

10.0

Shantha was the ultimate host! What a kind and generous guy. We used his place as a stop off point on a long cycle from Midigama and Arugam Bay. It was perfect and so was Shantha’s hospitality. From our arrival he treated us so well with juices and a coconut and then continued to all the way through to breakfast the next day. This included Shantha’s fantastic dinner that we had requested which was a delicious and perfectly cooked fish with rice and salad and his special Dhal curry. This place and Shamtha are a gem. The location gives you a real feeling for rural Sri Lanka with rice fields surrounding the property. Fantastic for walking and in our case cycling!

Nothing!

Klidná Oáza uprostřed rýžových polí, spoustu zvířat na pozorování, výborný hostitel.

Mohl by být více světla a čerstvého vzduchu na pokoji

"Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft mit tollem Gastgeber & Veganem Essen"

10.0

Ich kann einen Aufenthalt im Yaye Guesthouse sehr empfehlen! Es liegt etwas außerhalb von den Ortschaften inmitten von Natur sowie in der Nähe des Yala Nationalparks. Der Gastgeber hat uns auch eine private Safari dorthin organisiert zu einem guten Preis. Es gibt zwei Zimmer mit Doppelbett, gute AC, Moskitonetz und eigenem Bad. Es war für dortige Verhältnisse äußerst sauber und gut ausgestattet. Außerdem kocht der Gastgeber gerne Fisch oder Reis und Curry, für uns sogar extra vegan / vegetarisch. Auch das Frühstück war super, es gab auf Wunsch sogar extra Coconut Roti oder frische Säfte. Und es gibt eine süße Hauskatze und eine Kröte :) Wir sind spontan länger geblieben als geplant und würden wieder herkommen!

This was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Beautiful location amongst rice fields and nature, as well as being close to National Parks and the ocean! The rooms were clean and comfortable with nice seating outdoors to relax. Shantha, the host was such a legend! A real genuine guy who was great to talk to and to be around. He showed us so many different birds, wildlife and his plants in his garden. We decided to eat there both nights as the dinners that he cooked for us were delicious - fresh fish or calamari with salad or vegetables and rice. Cooked perfectly and even had a few Lion beers to go with it. He went out of his way to go and get some buffalo curd and coconut honey which was also delicious! Would really recommend this to everyone and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

"This visit is for everyone who wants to get in touch with the nature of srilanka and its wildlife."

10.0

Chante is the best host and a very kind and lovely man. He showed us around the real nature of Sri Lanka. We were really lucky because we saw some birds, a waran and even a crocodile! He cooked the best fish for us. His garden with all the spices is very comfortable and relaxing. The room itself is good for the low budget price. Thank you for this nice stay!

"Beautiful, quiet accommodation in the countryside"

10.0

Very nice and simple accommodation in the middle of nature. Great host who prepares delicious food in the evenings and mornings and teaches you a lot about nature and the animals that live there. If you are looking for some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you! A safari etc. can also be organized from there (Yala & Bundala Nationalpark are nearby) We can warmly recommend this accommodation!
